A program that benefits the consumer, assures them of complete satisfaction and confidence when doing business with a member business. As I've mentioned, that binder they carry is full of false information and is merely a prop for them to stage the whole extravaganza of being a "qualified" technician. Conveniently, they have a page that compares the rates between all the different competing companies to theirs haha! Good thing that lad is strictly on commission, because professionalism goes a long way if he was in the real business of representing Enbridge, or any other legitimate company.

He want to find a reason to sign an expensive long term contract. The old water heater was working fine and we are only paying 20 dollars a month. Door to door sales are illegal since March 1st. I believe some companies are not abiding by door to door sales ban and forging signatures. We were pressured into renting furnace and tankless hot water heater from Simple Green Hvac company. It was door to door sale in 2014 and the contract was signed for 15 years.

These contracts are very profitable for the rental companies and abad deal for the majority of their customers. Purchasing your own unit can result in substantial savings over time,according to the Competition Bureau. Appliance rental is not common practice in Canada outside of Ontario. Once you have a written copy of the contract, you still have a 10-day cooling-off period to cancel a contract, for the restricted products or services, for any reason. Businesses will be able to enter into a contract at your home if you contacted them ahead of time and invited them to your home for the purpose of buying or leasing one of the restricted products and services.

The only truth they all hold is their name tag, hung around their neck, as if it were to be Government-issued...goodness. They will stand to the side of your doors to prevent themselves from appearing invasive. They will knock on your door two times before leaving to go to the next door. They are all trained to take "no" as an opportunity to continue convincing you that something is indeed wrong. DO NOT say, "my husband/wife who is charge is not at home," they will DEFINITELY come back and knock again. If you can't handle blatantly ignoring these fools, then say, "I don't own this house," and they will be gone faster than their cheap-ass littered with McDonald's garbage mini-van.

They lure you in with the promise of making an hourly wage and then when they reveal that the position is based on commission they promise you there will be a base pay that you will make no matter what. This turns out to be a lie also because they then reveal that you only get the base pay once you sign a deal and you will only get your base pay after signing 12 deals in a week. The company wanted me to pay a rental fee that i did not use because I already moved out and against...

We did not cancel because our bill came after 10 days passed. My dad signed a contract for water heater at the door in January 8th 2018 and today I got a bill for tankless water heater.

He claimed the water heater is old and if anything happened to the reliance old water heater they will not able to fix it.
